Yawn :SLEEP: No one would do the test even if it was for identifying "nominally competent" CD players or amps in a DBT. In many cases the differences are just as small (but nevertheless important) as with cables but why is it that people only question if there really are differences between cables?Originally posted by notaclue
I mean, a $5000 reward in the US? £1000 in the UK? And still nobody has done it.

Double blind tests are a particularly bad way of testing hifi gear as there isn't yet a reliable method of measuring the results. Human ears are susceptible to all kinds of influences. Changes that a cable (or even an amp) make are often only appreciated after weeks or even months of using them.
